It's not Woton correct? If I remember correctly Woton was way away from Isis and Cheops.....

1. Tower of Set (?) 2. Don't know.

I believe Mazatzal is correct that it is Tower of Set, which is located about 12 miles west of Wotan's Throne.

If it is in fact Tower of Set, I know Bob Packard has and I wouldn't doubt Harvey Butchart did as well.
(Of course neither of them is/was a HAZ member.)

Correct on Tower of Set. The other is Sumner Butte.

Harvey made it to the Tower of Set saddle, but I don't believe he ever made the summit.

I just checked Harvey's master hiking map. He did not reach the summit of the Tower of Set but he did reach Sumner Butte <marked as Sumner Point on the old maps>.

Thanks for all the info!!! Sumner looks like it would be one tough ole summit!

Sumner is a (it's number 3 on my "to conquer" list)) but it's definitely doable as a non-tech but might be more fun with ropes! I'll be heading up in September...unless I break something in the mean time

I don't think Tower of Set is reachable the way Harvey went (at least, not non-tech), but it may be reachable, it's just that the other route to get there is very long.
